Gaining or effluent streams receive water from the saturated zone.
The top saturated zone is called the water table.
why would water stop soaking into the ground in the saturated zone
Groundwater is found in a saturated zone, meaning that since there is so much water in the soil, theres just water.

The two zones of groundwater are the saturated zone and unsaturated zone.The saturated zone is filled with water and is below the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone has water and air in its pores (tiny open spaces in the soil).
This is the zone nearest the surface. This is the zone through which water passes as it makes its way downwards. The soil or rock here is never saturated. This zone does, however, provide the water used by plants growing in the soil.

The water table sits on top of the soil zone.
